Choose a Gang here and build a list of 500 credits using a gang builder tool like Munda Manager.

For your first few games, keep it simple:

• 1x Leader
• 1x Champion
• 3x Gangers/Juves/Prospects depending on your gang

It's also a good time to think a little bit about your gang narrative:

• Pick some names for your fighters, that's the best way to start their journey in the Underhive. You'll remember some of their exploits (or failures).
• Write up a small backstory for your gang which is maybe just a bunch of low-lives who are trying to make a buck or prove themselves.

Each fighter starts a round with a Ready marker which indicates it has not been activated yet.

When you activate a fighter, you usually get two actions for them. Some actions can be repeated (simple), some can only be made once (basic), and some count as two actions (double):

• Move (simple) (you get into cover, climb, reposition)
• Shoot (basic) (you shoot at range)
• Fight (basic) (melee attacks if engaged)
• Charge (double) (close the distance with an enemy and allows a free fight action)
• Aim (basic) (set up a better shot)
• Stand Up (basic) (if you were Prone)
• Reload (simple) (tries to reload/unjam your weapon)

Once you activated your fighter, you remove its Ready marker and it's now your opponent's turn to activate a fighter. You'll keep doing that until no fighters are left with a Ready marker.

When you do a Shoot (basic) action, the shooting sequence goes like this:

1. Choose a target you can see
2. Check your weapon's range
3. Apply modifiers (range accuracy, cover, aiming...)
4. Roll to Hit
   If a fighter has a BS of 4+ and no modifiers need to be applied, the roll is a success if you roll a 4 or more on a D6.
5. Roll the Ammo Dice
   • On an Out of Ammo result, roll a D6 using the weapon's Ammo value to see if it is jammed.
   • If the roll fails, the shot still resolves normally, but you must take a Reload (Simple) action before the weapon can be fired again.
   • Some weapons have the Rapid Fire (1) trait. When using these weapons, each bullet symbol on the Ammo dice counts as a separate hit.
6. Resolve Successful Hits (see Step 7: Resolve Hits)
7. If the hit is a success, the fighter is Pinned. Put Prone the enemy fighter (if they survive the hit)

If the hit you've made is a success, it's time to see if that hit is going to wound the enemy fighter.

1. Roll to wound
   Compare your weapon's strength to the enemy fighter's toughness.
   For Close Combat Weapons, the Strength of the weapon is often marked as `S`. It means that this weapon has a Strength equal to the Strength of the fighter.
   

   Strength vs Toughness	D6 Roll Required
   Strength is TWICE the Toughness or greater?	2+
   Strength is GREATER than the Toughness?	3+
   Strength is EQUAL to the Toughness?	4+
   Strength is LOWER than the Toughness?	5+
   Strength is HALF the Toughness or lower?	6+

2. Armour save, if any (only if the wound roll is a success)
   If the enemy fighter has some armour, for example, a mesh armour which provides a 5+ save, they roll to see if the wound is actually applied. If they succeed, ignore the wound.
3. Apply the Damage of the weapon
   If the wound is not saved, the fighter loses a number of wounds equal to the Damage of the weapon (check the Weapon's Damage characteristic and the enemy fighter's Wound characteristic).
   If a fighter loses all their Wounds, they fall Prone and become Seriously Injured. Most leaders and champions have 2 wounds, which means they can lose one without being Seriously Injured, while normal fighters only have 1 Wound.

Necromunda is brutal. When things go badly, your gang might lose their cool.

The End Phase includes the following steps:

1. Bottling: As your fighters go down, you will make checks to see if your gang bottles.
   Each player rolls a D6 and adds up to the result the number of fighters they have who are currently Seriously Injured or went Out of Action during the game. If this number is higher than the number of fighters they have for the battle, their gang bottles.
2. If your gang has bottled: your fighters may flee.
   For each of your fighters, roll 2D6, if you roll equal or higher than their Cool characteristic, your fighter stays on the board. Otherwise, they are removed.
   Once your gang has bottled, there is no going back, you'll have to keep making those tests during the End Phase of each subsequent rounds.
3. Recovery: for each of your Seriously Injured fighter, roll an Injury Dice and apply the appropriate result. If you're lucky, they might get out of being Seriously Injured and get back into action!

Injury Result	Effects on the fighter
Flesh Wound	Not seriously injured anymore but lose 1 Toughness
Serious Injury	Stays Seriously Injured and lose 1 Toughness
Skull	Is Out of Action and is removed from the board

1. Each player picks their fighters who will participate in the scenario
2. Deploy your fighters in your deployment zone
   The Standard deployment zone is the zone which is more than 12" from the middle of the board.
3. Roll for Priority (each player rolls a D6 to determine who acts first)

• Standing in the open: always end actions in cover if you can.
• Splitting your gang: stay close enough to support each other.
• Overbuying fancy gear: more bodies and basic weapons often win early.
• Ignoring objectives: Necromunda scenarios are not always "table the enemy".
• Forgetting vertical movement: plan climbs and drops before you commit.
• Keeping your fighters next to each other: space out your fighters to avoid having them all hit at once by some weapons.
